Sometime between 13 and 15 months your Toddler is likely to outgrow his morning nap.

Be sure to adjust the afternoon nap and your day when this happens.

Step 1: Take away the morning nap

Now your toddler may not be able stay awake long enough to reach the usual afternoon nap time.

Step 2: Bring forward the afternoon nap – if you usually nap at 12.pm –you may want to consider 10.30am-11.am. You should also take into consideration what time your baby woke in the morning when making these adjustments.

A baby of 15 months that wakes at 6.am will become over tired if the second nap is not until 12.pm. If he becomes over tired he will be cranky and he will find it difficult to settle.Your toddler will most likely will be ready for a nap around 11.am.

Adjust the afternoon nap to an earlier time, and now introduce a cat nap in the afternoon to help him get through the day.

For example if your toddler naps from 11.am -1pm he will not make it until bedtime which should now be 6.pm, he will need a cat nap of 30 minutes to help get him through the night.

Not enough daytime sleep can bring disrupted sleep through the night, and possibly create early morning waking. Just as not taking away that morning nap can cause disrupted afternoon naps, which can then lead to all kinds of shenanigans at bedtime! ... See MoreSee Less

Just a thought for home daycare providers Something I come across often is that daycares and parents don't always see eye to eye where nap and sleep is concerned. Trust me, there are many consults I have that the issue is too much daytime sleep at daycare and in turn this causes night waking and bedtime shenanigans at its worst. On the other hand once the issues has been resolved I find the daycares work with the parent and new schedule. I recently had a client book a consult that come to me on the recommendation of her home daycare provider. Apparently she had sent others to me and it had gone un-noticed. I have since called and thanked her. She informed me she follows and has the kids on my schedule ...all of them! This gave me an idea to put together a programme for daycare providers. Ask the parents to attend, share the fee and gather a small group together to sort out sleep issues. I would be planning with the daycare provider to put a suitable sleep plan together for each child.. a toddler does not need as much sleep as a 6 months old, their times of naps may differ a little. This would solve so many sleep issues that parents with babies and toddlers at daycare deal with. If this is something you're interested in please email me for details. NannyRobina@gmail.com ...
